Learning outcomes for Sustainability

I have learned so much, like being able to grow crops in a fish tank, and that not everyone has food security. We are so lucky to have food security, and different stakeholders are affected by everything that happens within the food systems. The changes in technology is so fascinating, and technology is improving the production of food, like aquaponics. Some inventions are trying to conserve the amount of water being used, for more sustainability, when there is 9 billion people.

In biology we have started our microbiology unit. We started by collecting soil, to look at the bacteria in it. We also went around the school to see how much bacteria are around the school, like door handles, and hand rails on the stairs. We looked at bacteria from our nose, ear, and tongue. There was only one colony of bacteria for the ear, because Kael had cleaned his ear out that day. But there was lots of bacteria for the nose, and the tongue. At the beginning of the unit a petri dish was passed around and we all touched it and lots of bacteria was on it, despite washing our hands twice.
